We'll open with a, we'll have an opening ceremony with a pledge of allegiance led by Councilman Kaplan, after which we'll have our opening comments by Will Jones from the Church of Jesus Christ, the Latter-day Saints.

[0:35] Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

[0:55] Thank you, thank you, it says comments, I'm here to, I think you all know, but I represent the Church of Jesus Christ letter to Saints on the Interfaith Council.

[1:06] There are about 20 different religious organizations that meet once a month and work together here in the county and one of the services that we do is

[1:13] Come to meetings like this and offer prayers. So we appreciate the chance to be here and you're welcoming us here

[1:19] So I'd like to start with the prayer. Thank you

[1:22] Our father in heaven. We are grateful to see you need to meet together in this format in this setting with the freedoms of

[1:28] with a democratically elected government that we enjoy.

[1:32] I mean, grateful for the blessing to live in this place at this time.

[1:37] We ask you to bless this council with wisdom, that they may serve the people of Santa Clara,

[1:42] with wisdom and integrity. We ask you to bless the employees and the first responders of this city

[1:47] as they serve its population, that they can do so safely and in a way that will benefit the community

[1:56] Any in a hole? We're grateful for all of the blessings that we enjoy and ask you for moisture and safety and this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[2:04] Thank you.

[2:05] Thank you for being here.

[2:07] And he's a pretty fair banker.

[2:11] I say you're a pretty fair banker.

[2:17] Councillor,

[2:20] are there any conflicts or disclosures with any of the items on the agenda tonight?

[2:25] We do have a public hearing scheduled for this evening so we'll go to that.

[2:35] We've got a public hearing to receive public comment regarding an update on city ordinance

[2:40] 12.24.100 for restrictions on burial, Ryan, we'll have you speak to that.

[2:49] Good evening, Mayor and Council.

[2:51] If you'll remember in our last meeting, I brought our restrictions on burial ordinance

[2:56] here attention or believe there was a misprint where it read that not more than one casket

[3:02] shall be allowed in a grade plot except that two cremation vaults may be allowed in a

[3:06] half plot. I believe that was supposed to a full plot and we agreed. So that is how it

[3:12] reads now that not more than one casket shall be allowed in a grade plot except that two cremation

[3:19] involved may be allowed in a full plot, that's what was changed.

[3:28] We will now open the public hearing to receive any comment.

[3:34] If there's anyone here to address the council regarding this, we invite you to come to

[3:39] the podium.

[3:43] Seeing none, we will close the hearing and council with your permission will jump down to General

[3:49] business C1, a discussion in action to consider approval to update the city ordinance 12.24.100.

[3:59] Any discussion on that council?

[4:03] If not, I would look for a motion.

[4:06] I make a motion that we approve and the update to city ordinance 12.24.100 restriction

[4:15] In the ordinance number 2026-14, I didn't know if that had to be separate.

[4:21] Second.

[4:24] Got a motion by Mark and a second by Christa.

[4:28] Any questions on that motion?

[4:31] This is an ordinance.

[4:32] We'll go roll call.

[4:34] Justin?

[4:35] Aye.

[4:36] Jody?

[4:37] Aye.

[4:38] Christa?

[4:38] Aye.

[4:39] Mark?

[4:39] Aye.

[4:40] And I'm an I as well that passes five zero.

[4:43] Thank you, everybody.

[4:45] We'll jump back up to our working agenda.

[4:50] The consent agenda, Council, you have in your packet the approval of minutes and claims from July 8th and

[5:01] claims through July 22nd.

[5:03] The calendar upcoming, we have the city offices will be closed on Friday for Pioneer Day.

[5:13] August 12th, we have the City Council work and regular meeting and we'll need to discuss based on earlier conversation our August 26th Council and work meeting as a potential conflict.

[5:28] Any question on the consent agenda,

[5:33] if not, I would look for a motion.

[5:34] to have the approval of minutes and claims and the calendary events.

[5:45] Second, I have a motion by a Janine, a second by Justin, any questions on that motion?

[5:54] Do you roll call, Justin?

[5:57] Hi.

[5:57] Janine?

[5:58] Hi.

[5:58] Christa?

[5:59] Hi.

[5:59] Mark?

[6:00] Hi.

[6:00] And I am an I as well.

[6:01] That passes 5-0.

[6:06] All right.

[6:06] All right, jumping back down to general business, item number C2, discussion in action to award rap tax prevented, presented by Ryan.

[6:14] It's the Ryan show tonight.

[6:16] Ryan show, after this, I'm going to take a few months off of council, so there's somebody else a chance.

[6:23] So we've received two requests for rap tax funds this year, and along with these two, keep in mind, we also have our annual contribution of $5,000 to two of con.

[6:39] I think we know what a great

[6:41] job they do and great event

[6:42] they have.

[6:44] She is requesting $16,000.

[6:48] And part of that in her

[6:50] itemization is to pay off their

[6:51] storage container that they are

[6:54] putting it swiss by an air

[6:55] park.

[6:56] So I'm assuming from here on

[6:58] forward it will be a little less

[6:59] but cost of everything goes

[7:02] up so we'll see. And then the second one is Susanna Nelson. I'm sure you guys remember

[7:08] her. She came in. She's with the Historical Society. She's a go-getter. She has pretty

[7:13] much adopted the Arboretum. And her award does several activities up there every year helping

[7:19] us out. So she's requesting $4,200 and part is for the Arboretum to put indigenous use of medicinal

[7:29] plant's interpretive information throughout the

[7:32] Herberietum and also to replace and damage plant of

[7:36] identification tags. She also wants to replace and

[7:41] she got a bid for a couple of our historic

[7:44] markers downtown. There was one at the grandery and

[7:48] a couple other places. I know one of them, at least one of them got hit

[7:51] by a car. I don't know what happened to the other two.

[7:55] She's got in here for two of them. The company that did them

[7:58] I think those are only two they still had the files for, so the third one I think believes she's still working on that might be next year, but that's I think that was that that was the majority of the funding and it was $29 or $2800 for two signs, bronze signs and stands and that's that's all we've got.

[8:20] Thank you, Ryan.

[8:22] Council, any questions on rap tax?

[8:26] This is my first time on council dealing with rap tax.

[8:30] What, how much do we have each year, is that, how does this work?

[8:36] So with the rap tax, the council, years ago when the rap tax first came through,

[8:41] the city council adopted that, of the rap tax, 20% would be allocated to be able to go for

[8:48] to the arms and that so so we had we set that aside every year in the budget.

[8:54] We take what we have projected in rap tax to receive.

[8:59] So why we do it really at the end of the year to make sure that the numbers come in where we anticipate so we take 20%.

[9:05] We have there's well over this amount that's been requested is there budgeted for rap tax so where are we now at this point?

[9:15] So we this last year, I don't know the number I'll tell my head, but we were around, I want to say 160,000 in rap tax, which means it would be about, would have been about 32,000 would have been available.

[9:26] So those, the funds that are not, it would rap tax and they just, they go back into the parks and rec of part of rap tax.

[9:35] What was our deadline for filing this?

[9:37] was it June 30th because that online it said June 31st and I know our

[9:43] application got put on the website a little late yeah we we extended it

[9:48] through July 31st to July because of that I believe see because I know we've got

[9:55] one coming in from Southwest open application that I have here and I don't

[10:02] think it went on the website till June so that's why we extended it so

[10:07] So people can still apply through July, is that right?

[10:10] We usually shut it down the end of June and then award it in July.

[10:14] That the process should be, should be due by the end of May, we review in June, we award

[10:22] in July based on, that it was not up, I think where you're asking is, can somebody still

[10:29] apply for that?

[10:30] That's what I'm asking.

[10:31] Yeah.

[10:33] What does it say on the assay?

[10:35] On the application, it says May 31st.

[10:37] An online list says June 31st.

[10:39] Yeah.

[10:40] I think they did that online VB.

[10:41] Which doesn't exist.

[10:42] This could say, that's pretty funny.

[10:44] It's not a day.

[10:45] So it's infinite then, so it's ongoing.

[10:48] So we can still submit applications.

[10:50] That's just my question.

[10:51] Can we clear that up for July 31st or something?

[10:54] Oh, until we hit June 31st, how's that?

[10:56] So forever.

[10:57] Sounds great.

[10:58] Yeah, I think that they met June 31st.

[11:00] But I think that's why they put that June 30th was because we extended some time because it wasn't on there.

[11:06] I did have both of these ladies called me and asked for an application because it wasn't on there.

[11:11] Yeah.

[11:13] But they called in April.

[11:17] So they know this process.

[11:19] Yeah, I've kind of been watching it, but it didn't get on the site till late too.

[11:24] So I'm hoping we can extend it out a little time.

[11:28] I don't know how it gets to approve that.

[11:31] Not I.

[11:33] We had some leak comers last year.

[11:37] If I remember right and we.

[11:39] Yeah.

[11:43] So there's two things.

[11:45] I mean we go through the process of trying to get things done.

[11:48] And have it.

[11:49] Hey, here's a process.

[11:50] Here's steps go through an application.

[11:52] But there are.

[11:54] We say we allocate funds there that so.

[11:56] So it means same to say shakes were in the park or she was at an else and if they came back and said here in three months and like, oh, my plaques went up, then it really ended up instead of being $2,800, they were $3,800 and she came back and said, hey, can you get more, I think the council would look at that staff would look and say, hey, they're still funds allocated now if we had allocated all the funds every bit that we had then that would still council could then look at and say, using our donation, other donation funds,

[12:26] to do that, but so I think the council would be receptive and open to those applications

[12:32] after.

[12:33] Okay.

[12:33] But I.

[12:35] So I'm here.

[12:35] You hate to set a place.

[12:37] Presidents that people know I don't have to get it in by, yes, certain deadline, which

[12:42] should be on normal years, we get it on the website promptly in those things and it should

[12:47] not be an issue.

[12:47] I can see in this year where it didn't even pop up on the website till I have it in the

[12:54] first part of June so maybe if I get another request maybe bring it to a work

[13:00] meeting we can discuss. Thank you. Probably it is sooner than better not by

[13:07] June 31st. Sounds great thanks. Council and the other questions if not I would

[13:17] look for a motion. Maybe just in the motion with each award and the amount

[13:25] that to award to each one in your motion if you would, please.

[13:30] I'll make that motion that we award the requested rap tax funds as presented to

[13:36] hand productions, $16,000 and to want to get the name of their entity.

[13:45] Susan Nielsen.

[13:46] Oh, to her personally?

[13:47] Well, it'd be the purpose because in order to, you have to be part of the things is like

[13:54] like a 501-C3, so she runs, Susanna does apply, but it runs through the Santa Clara Historical Society.

[14:00] Okay, so the end to the Santa Clara Historical Society, $4,200.

[14:06] I second the motion.

[14:08] We've got a motion by Christa, second by Mark.

[14:10] Any questions on that motion, Council?

[14:14] This is a money item, we'll do a roll call.

[14:17] Justin?

[14:18] Hi.

[14:19] Janine?

[14:19] Hi.

[14:20] Christa?

[14:21] Hi.

[14:21] Mark?

[14:22] Hi.

[14:22] And I'm in I as well, that passes unanimously.

[14:25] Thank you.

[14:26] Thank you.

[14:29] Item C3, discussion and action to consider approval of a rezone and amended site plan review for

[14:36] property located at 2998 Santa Clara Drive, presented by GM.

[14:43] Thanks Mayor Pro Tem and council members.

[14:45] I don't want to go ahead and pull up the site plan.

[14:49] Keep going that there's a better one that's more of the survey.

[14:53] Here we go, that's the site plan that has been done, so the applicants are

[14:59] We're heathered.

[15:00] Ailer and Barbara Parks, and they're proposing to renovate and convert the existing single family home at 2998 Santa Clara Drive to allow for office retail space intended for an art gallery. This property is quite small. It's .10 acres are just over 4500 square feet. We have a few others along Santa Clara Drive that are this size or maybe a little bigger. The square footage of the main floor of the home is approximately 940 square feet with a basement.

[15:29] which would be utilized for storage.

[15:32] The properties in the historic district are 110 zone and the applicants are proposing

[15:37] to rezone it to the historic district mixed use zone to allow for the office retail

[15:43] space intended for the gallery.

[15:46] The applicants are required to go through a amended site plan review to bring the site up

[15:51] to current development standards.

[15:53] This process did include a public hearing with the Planning Commission and recommendation to

[15:58] the council. Heritage Commission was the first step in the process and they reviewed the item on June

[16:04] 18th, 2026. They were very excited about the reuse of the property in the home. As you're aware,

[16:12] it's been on the market for a while on and off and there's been several proposals. Nothing quite

[16:17] like this but there's been several proposals to utilize it that haven't worked out. This home is

[16:25] identified as a period cottage, that style was done approximately from 1920 to 1935.

[16:34] So a little bit of history about the property itself.

[16:38] What I want to do is take a minute and go through the site plan review in the items that

[16:42] we feel are necessary to be looked at.

[16:45] The site plan layout, if we'll scroll down just a little bit, you'll see that that is Santa

[16:51] declared drive there. So the access is provided off Santa Clara drive along the east portion

[16:58] of the lot. That drive weighs approximately 13 to 15 feet in width and runs along the

[17:04] entire east property line. Additionally pedestrian access would be available off of Santa Clara

[17:09] drive. The print of the building would remain as is as per the site plan, no changes there.

[17:17] And then out appropriate landscaping along Santa Clara Drive and within the project along with an outdoor patio will be provided to promote the walkability and pedestrian use.

[17:30] As far as the building design and materials, it is a period cottage constructed in 1935.

[17:36] The applicant said, why don't we go to the building elevation?

[17:39] I think it's a few pages down.

[17:41] We can start there. That's the front elevation and the best one.

[17:44] So they've indicated that the doors and windows are to remain and be repaired and or replicated to match the existing.

[17:57] The applicants will be removing the existing asphalt shingle roof and replacing it with a natural cedar shake roof.

[18:04] The proposed building design and materials were discussed with the Planning Commission and the Heritage Commission.

[18:11] and both groups were in support of those materials.

[18:15] I have a box here that Barbara brought in the applicant,

[18:18] and so this is the color for the window treatment

[18:21] that you see there.

[18:22] I mean, right, isn't that the window trim color?

[18:28] And this color is the existing stucco,

[18:32] and this is proposed a little bit richer

[18:34] between the two there.

[18:38] Single roofing, which we feel would be quite nice

[18:41] and an enhancement of the building.

[18:46] As far as project landscape,

[18:48] they'll be required to meet city ordinance.

[18:50] Why don't we scroll down a few?

[18:51] There is a rendering that gives us a good example

[18:54] of just drought tolerant planning.

[18:56] Here it is.

[18:58] And so that looks quite nice.

[19:00] You see individual plants that would be dripped

[19:03] and you see that outdoor patio area that they're proposing.

[19:07] And then as far as the required parking,

[19:10] We'll have to go back to the site plan on that one.

[19:14] The project's required to have a minimum of three parking spaces for the proposed business.

[19:21] And that's per chapter 1732 of city code.

[19:24] Site plan includes a total of three parking spaces, including one required ADA space, directly adjacent to Santa Clara Drive.

[19:34] You can see that site plan coming in right off of Santa Clara Drive.

[19:38] that is a van accessible space, so it's required to be a little bit larger,

[19:43] 9 feet with the four, five foot drop off and pick up area,

[19:48] and that's shown on there. And then an ADA ramp is also required.

[19:51] And I think if you scroll down, Brock, there is a drawing that shows the ADA ramp,

[19:57] a little bit further. Yeah, that was it.

[20:00] So that's giving you an idea of the ADA ramp

[20:04] that is required. With the project, you can see that's coming from the

[20:08] drive way and has to go across the frontage and then along the west side to gain access

[20:14] into the building.

[20:15] The applicants have worked with the neighbors adjacent to the north property line.

[20:20] And as a result, they've provided a parking easement agreement.

[20:23] Now, that has been recorded and I think it's been included in your packet.

[20:28] If you have additional questions, Barbara Parks is here and she can discuss the conversations

[20:33] that she has had with the neighbors.

[20:35] but that is included in your packet that has been agreed to by both parties and

[20:39] recorded with the county and so that's going to accommodate the two spaces in

[20:46] the back by creating an additional five feet and I think there's a drawing

[20:50] attached to that agreement that shows how that would lay out and so you know

[20:57] looking at our code the historic district design guidelines first indicate that

[21:01] parking should be located to the side or behind the building where its visual impact would

[21:07] be minimized. Additionally, chapter 1774, and that's our historic district mix use zone

[21:12] encourages flexibility in site design and parking requirements. And so we're looking to utilize

[21:19] those provisions out of city code as well as the historic district design guideline, guidelines

[21:26] signs allowing for the project to move forward.

[21:30] If we go back down to the rendering, you can see just with the fencing, that's perfect.

[21:36] They're just proposing to clean it up and use existing project signage isn't available

[21:42] at this time.

[21:43] They would be required to go back to the Heritage Commission for review and approval

[21:46] for signs.

[21:48] And then the mechanical equipment and garbage collection going back to the site plan

[21:52] is just shown behind the home itself.

[21:55] So nothing would be put in the front.

[21:57] We did send notices to property owners within 300 feet of the property prior to the planning commission public hearing.

[22:04] We received no responses and so that we've met the requirements of state code for a rezoning the property.

[22:13] As far as our general plan, as you know, we recently adopted a general plan and

[22:17] includes a neighborhood commercial land use classification for this property.

[22:21] The proposed historic district makes use zone complies with the intent of the general plan and the classification states the following this classification supports small scale commercial uses that serve the daily needs of nearby residents, such as grocery stores, cafes and personal services, it may also include mixed use developments with residential units above ground floor retail.

[22:44] The intent is to create a vibrant walkable center to create a vibrant walkable center that

[22:51] enhanced neighborhood identity and reduce the reliance on automobiles.

[22:55] So the proposed U application meets the intent of the general plan and the existing building

[23:02] would be updated and remain on site to be utilized as a small scale commercial business.

[23:07] As far as state code section 10, 20503 includes the requirements for a

[23:13] rezone, land use amendment or zoning map amendment.

[23:17] We've met all of that criteria and requirements.

[23:20] Our recommendation is as follows, on July 9th, 2026, the Planning Commission held the public hearing.

[23:27] And forwarded a recommendation of approval, it was by a three to two vote, to the City Council.

[23:33] City staff recommend that the City Council consider granting approval for a

[23:37] rezoning and an incite and amended site plan to allow for office retail space to

[23:45] be located at 2998 Santa Clara Drive subject to the conditions in the staff

[23:49] report. Now we had 12 conditions and the Planning Commission recommended that we

[23:55] out of 13th and that stated that the applicants work with the neighboring

[23:59] property owners to remove the existing shed on the North property line. That a

[24:04] The document be signed and notarized by both parties with a copy provided to city staff for verification.

[24:10] We also received that document on Monday.

[24:13] So we received the parking easement agreement and this document as well, allowing for the removal of the shed.

[24:22] Cody and I actually met with the property owners to the north.

[24:25] They came in last Thursday.

[24:27] They were quite excited about the project and meeting the applicants and their plans for the property.

[24:32] and just wanted to ask us a few questions,

[24:36] but they've met with them and decided to proceed.

[24:40] And then we have the following findings,

[24:42] and I'll read those that the rezoning is compliant

[24:44] with the Santa Clara City General Plan,

[24:47] land use classifications,

[24:48] neighborhood commercial mix lot size,

[24:52] that the proposed property is used as in harmony

[24:55] with the Santa Clara design guidelines,

[24:58] and that other properties in the immediate vicinity,

[25:01] directly south of 3,3003 and 3,013 Santa Clara Drive properties of the site, our zone historic

[25:09] district makes use.

[25:11] Mayor Pro Tem, that's what I have at this point.

[25:15] I'm, you know, feel free to ask questions and then the applicant, if you want to know

[25:19] some more information, Barbara Parks is here.

[25:22] And then also, her son-in-law Corey Taylor is the architect for the project and he's on Zoom

[25:29] if there's any additional questions for him.

[25:32] Thank you.

[25:33] Thanks, Jim.

[25:35] Council.

[25:36] Sorry, can you clarify that agreements came in on Monday signed or just an example of

[25:41] the agreements that will be signed?

[25:43] Signed.

[25:43] And so, yeah, so the parking, the parking easement agreement is signed by both parties and recorded

[25:50] up the county.

[25:51] And then we have a demolition agreement to remove that building because it affects both

[25:57] property lines signed by both properties and I believe their intent is to record

[26:02] that with the county as well. So thank you. Jim it looks like two sheds. I don't

[26:09] understand. Yeah. It's like it's on the. I don't we go if you scroll up we have

[26:14] some pictures. It does look like that on the site plan. But if you scroll down

[26:20] right there to the right bottom right. I don't know it's my understanding it's

[26:26] It's just one shed across the property line, but I went and walked the property today

[26:31] because when I look at this, there is one shed, it just appears to be two in the way

[26:36] the drawing is.

[26:37] But there is one shed and you answered my questions because my concern was the parking

[26:42] access and by demolishing that space, you'll have enough vehicle turnaround space in the back,

[26:48] right?

[26:49] You've already started, they've already started to clean the property immensely, thank

[26:52] you.

[26:53] Right.

[26:53] and I mean my first question was about the ADA compliance on that sidewalk

[27:00] access but that's covered if that shed goes away correct based on where

[27:07] the parking space is right Cody or refer to Cody the ADA parking are you

[27:15] referring to the parking or the access path the access path the access path isn't

[27:23] off of the front side of the property right on the back side.

[27:26] One more down and then it goes up the West property line.

[27:29] Okay, so I was thinking about that's my bad I'll retract that statement.

[27:33] But it allows more availability for parking and turning movements in and out of that area.

[27:39] It seems like the property line was kind of ignored when that shutter building was built based

[27:44] on its historic downtown plaque and at some point in time that was just built and that's

[27:51] That's my response to that.

[27:53] Welcome to Santa Clara.

[27:54] Yes, yes.

[27:56] Well, I got used to that working in Park City for a couple of years.

[28:01] So I love it.

[28:02] I love it all.

[28:04] I do have a question.

[28:05] I think it was the same question that the two NAVOats were planning commissions.

[28:09] So about the parking.

[28:10] The ADA parking spot blocks the access to the other.

[28:15] Let's scroll down to the site plan.

[28:18] Back up.

[28:20] Yeah, it's back up before they're yeah, there it is scroll down.

[28:27] So yes, the ADA space is right there at the entry to the project.

[28:32] We have city staff has been working with the applicants in an attempt to problem solve

[28:39] and create a solution allowing for the ADA parking to be placed on the site.

[28:45] and this is what several meetings in our TRC, this is what we determined that we

[28:51] were comfortable with. It is a little awkward or outside of the box but it is our

[28:56] historic downtown area and you know it's a nice reuse of the home and also we're

[29:04] trying to meet the intent of the historic district design guidelines that say

[29:10] They put the parking to the side or the back.

[29:13] We looked at the option of putting parking where the patio is, it would only accommodate one space, the one ADA space, and then you don't have that nice opportunity for pedestrians and others or people that come to sit outside and enjoy their time at the facility.

[29:29] So that's where we're going with it.

[29:32] If somebody's parked there, then those two spots, and then somebody comes and parks in the ADA spot, then they're just trapped in until they're going to have to be patient and wait for them to leave or perhaps help them to their car, so they can leave.

[29:50] So yeah, it's outside of the box.

[29:54] Just train your staff to look for those things, correct?

[29:57] Would that be your response to that question?

[30:00] What I do like is they have an ADA space. Yes.

[30:04] Barbara, come on up.

[30:13] My name is Barbara Parks, and I'm part owner and the property at 2998 Santa Clara Drive. We live on 2975 Santa Clara Circle in St. George. It'll time guide on that one.

[30:31] But we will watch that. We're careful. It's basically the only option.

[30:37] And if we tried to do it on the other side, there's no curb cut to get in, and I work in a gallery at Cayenta, and I've been in others, and we find that that isn't used that often.

[30:49] And when it is, we could accommodate for that, and we find that other people are very kind about accommodating for those issues too.

[30:57] And a lot of people, I think, will park on the street.

[31:00] Barbara, I was so impressed being there at the Heritage Commission meeting.

[31:06] And I want you to tell everybody how the not only is that an art gallery, but the patio and how you're going to use it and have a tea.

[31:17] You're going to be able to sell breakfast and goods.

[31:20] Well, actually some pastries.

[31:22] Pastries.

[31:23] It wouldn't be cooking and we would actually have somebody else bring in a man.

[31:27] Then bring them in and we have a couple options for that right now.

[31:29] We're looking at and that would be a place outside and we would serve tea and coffee.

[31:35] and that would be an area for them to sit in.

[31:39] So we wanted to be kind of a community gathering

[31:41] rather than just out of town tours.

[31:45] I mean, we welcome those, but we'd like for it

[31:47] to be walking traffic too a lot.

[31:49] It's a nice street, and so it's a nice street to walk on.

[31:52] If you don't mind the traffic, but it still is.

[31:56] Well, we don't know what's gonna eventually happen

[31:58] with the church on the corner either.

[32:00] That's gonna be a real positive nature.

[32:02] It's up for sale.

[32:03] You know, as you look at our downtown walkability and the things that we're trying to push for the downtown with the Tobler Park development and the park in there and the different things.

[32:11] I mean, it falls right in line with what we hope for for Santa Clara Drive.

[32:16] Right, and the side streets are close by that area too that they can park on.

[32:22] I found it real easy to park on the street in front and walk the property today.

[32:26] I was surprised at how easy it was to get back out of the traffic all those different things.

[32:31] We've been surprised too.

[32:32] We've gone over and checked the landscaper that we had cut down and trim all the trees.

[32:37] And it's amazing, we've been able to get a spot in the front every time we've been there.

[32:41] So we haven't had any problems or had to park on the side at all.

[32:44] And we've been there in the morning and in the evening.

[32:48] When we've had visitors, we've taken them over at six or seven o'clock at night and

[32:52] there's been nobody parked out front.

[32:54] And I don't know, we have talked to the neighbors.

[32:56] I personally went around to all of the neighbors across the street and on the side and talk to them and told them what we were planning on doing and let them know the trees were being cut and there'd be noise.

[33:08] And they were excited, so a lot of them are tenants, a lot of the properties are rentals, so we couldn't find actually anybody who lived there that owned there that were living in the house, but they were excited too.

[33:23] So, and as we are, we're excited because they have a vision for the property where others have no idea what they were getting into.

[33:35] Yeah.

[33:36] Beautiful vision too.

[33:38] Well, it's a great little place.

[33:41] The little tutor style is very attractive.

[33:44] And we're used to, we've always lived in historic homes.

[33:46] We had, we were on the historic register in Bozeman, Montana, where we came from and our house was built in the 1800s.

[33:52] So we're familiar with with historic buildings

[33:56] and what you have to do to them.

[33:58] Yay.

[33:59] And we'll have to keep preservation.

[34:01] One to keep, yes.

[34:02] Reservation, so any more questions?

[34:08] Okay, thank you.

[34:09] Right, thank you very much.

[34:14] Councilor, if there's no other questions or discussion,

[34:16] I would look for a motion.

[34:20] I'll make the motion that we approve

[34:22] the reason and amended site plan review

[34:24] for property located at 2998 Santa Clara Drive. Resoning the property from

[34:28] Historic District R110 to the Historic District Mixed Use, HDMU Zone, and

[34:35] Adopt Ordnance 2026-15. I'll second it. Great. I got a motion by a

[34:42] Christian second by Janine. Any question on that motion council? Do we need to

[34:46] include the conditions? Oh, I do need to include all the conditions that were

[34:51] That's stated in the report.

[34:53] That's stated in the report.

[34:57] Do I get a second on that?

[34:59] Second.

[34:59] Okay. Great.

[35:02] Any questions on that council?

[35:05] Great.

[35:07] Go down, we'll go roll call, Justin.

[35:10] Aye.

[35:11] Jeannie.

[35:12] Aye.

[35:13] Christa.

[35:13] Aye.

[35:14] Work.

[35:14] Aye.

[35:15] And I'm and I as well.

[35:17] That passes 5-0.

[35:18] Thank you council.

[35:19] So

[35:21] item number C4 discussion and action to consider approval on chapter 17.08 definitions

[35:29] and adopt an ordinance 2026-16 Jim.

[35:34] Thanks Mayor Pro Tem and Council I think we can be brief on this item we've discussed

[35:40] this previously we adopted an R14 zone and we adopted a provision that requires a deed

[35:50] restriction for that home for up to 10 years and so we recommend that the council consider

[35:57] approving the new definitions that we've discussed with you previously that we can add

[36:03] to chapter 1708 definitions of city code. Brought can we go to those there really they're

[36:09] towards the end unfortunately their second to last page or last page of the document.

[36:19] Anyway, the definitions are owner occupied, primary residents and secondary residents.

[36:26] So you'll recall the council asked the city staff to look at a definition for owner occupied because we had it in the R14 zone but we didn't have it defined.

[36:36] As a result, we ended up coming up with two other definitions that we feel are appropriate.

[36:40] So on July 9, 2026, the Planning Commission held the public hearing in order to recommendation of approval to the City Council.

[36:50] City staff recommend that the City Council consider granting approval for this code amendment.

[36:54] And it's the chapter 1708 definitions.

[36:58] And it's just those three definitions that we've discussed previously.

[37:02] We had to go to a public hearing to plan a commission and bring it back to you for adoption.

[37:06] Thank you.

[37:07] Great. Thanks, Jim.

[37:09] Council, any questions on that?

[37:12] All right, I'll look for a motion.

[37:16] I move that we approve chapter 17.08, definition.

[37:24] I'll second that.

[37:25] Got a motion by Christus, second by Mark.

[37:27] Any questions on that motion?

[37:29] Council, this an ordinance will do a roll call, Justin.

[37:34] Aye.

[37:35] Cheney.

[37:36] Aye.

[37:36] Christa.

[37:37] Mark.

[37:38] Aye.

[37:38] And I'm an aye as well.

[37:40] Thank you.

[37:41] Thank you, everybody.

[37:43] We'll jump down to item 5 Mayor and Council reports. Mark, let's start with you. We've been

[37:49] going this way the whole time. Let's go this way.

[37:54] I just have two things. I attended the

[38:00] groundbreaking yesterday for Tech Ridge for the new Eaglegate title building.

[38:11] It's the first

[38:12] I guess it was kind of a cool thing and it was all overcast and a little bit breezy.

[38:17] It was beautiful.

[38:18] So if you get a chance, head up there and see what they're working on.

[38:22] I also attended the LPC Housing and Land Authority subgroup meeting.

[38:27] Just continuing our discussion around different items to recommend to LPC,

[38:33] including pre-approved plans for homes.

[38:36] MIHP 2.0, and this idea about infrastructure credits for developers who are putting in

[38:46] attainable housing.

[38:47] A lot of discussion about that.

[38:48] So, that is the end of my report.

[38:52] Thank you.

[38:53] Janine?

[38:54] Just a couple of things.

[38:57] I thought that the program for 250 was really good at the stake center.

[39:04] I did a really good job with that.

[39:07] And the only thing that was hard was the ice cream.

[39:12] That's an understatement.

[39:13] That was hard to scoop up anyway.

[39:17] The other thing I attended that was really nice

[39:19] that I would say, take your kids to and let them see.

[39:24] It's a very neat opportunity to see how our historic courthouse

[39:29] has been refurbished and updated and Liberty Village is putting on a dinner

[39:37] and a play and it is really good. I would highly recommend it, everyone. That's all.

[39:45] Thanks, Justin. I was able to do that but the only

[39:48] went eight days and Monday night was the closing night for that one. So freedom

[39:52] light, so it was by sand pain. Yes. It's over. But it was amazing. It was cool.

[39:57] a cool, cool courthouse. They're bringing a new show for Constitution Day, and they'll

[40:02] be running for about a week, two weeks, or something like that, September, September.

[40:06] Okay.

[40:08] I don't have anything I was going to ask some stuff about the power outage and communication,

[40:13] which we addressed at the prior meeting. I appreciate that. And I wanted to say congrats

[40:18] to the Snow Canyon Little League softball. Let's hope that Mayor Rosenberg has granddaughters

[40:22] on the team and Son and Law was the head coach, represented Utah. Took state, went down

[40:26] to San Bernardino earlier this week. I guess last week I had a couple games and

[40:32] represented well. Didn't come out victorious but represented Santa Clara and

[40:37] Stokane in area well.

[40:41] I've got a couple of nieces on there. Yep and my sister-in-law

[40:45] was the something. Player agent or something like that. She was a coach but they

[40:50] can only have three coaches so she was the one female then they let her be the

[40:54] the female representative or something like that.

[40:57] Liaison?

[40:58] Something like that.

[40:59] Yeah.

[41:00] They do that so that if they go to the next level,

[41:02] they've got a female coach that can stand the door.

[41:05] Yeah.

[41:10] That's it for me.

[41:10] Very cool.

[41:12] Great.

[41:12] Thanks.

[41:13] Yeah.

[41:14] I was at the America 250, that was a great celebration.

[41:21] Our committee is amazing with the things that they've been able to put together.

[41:25] So that was that was really great attended the our the league meeting on Monday on the fireworks

[41:31] Appreciate the league and all the work that they did with

[41:36] Working with with the forest the state forster and everything that they they did and all the communication that they they put out some

[41:44] I got an email last week

[41:48] from

[41:49] The solid waste district just a couple of things that they're working through

[41:56] They've had, they've lost some employees and there's some regulations that allow their drivers to only be in a truck 70 hours a week.

[42:07] So they're looking to backfill and bring in some emergency reserve people to work through that.

[42:16] They're doing their best to make sure that routes are not impacted because we're early in the week, it doesn't impact us.

[42:24] It's really more impactful to hurricane areas of Washington and St. George that are Thursday, Friday, pick up.

[42:33] So they're doing their best to balance that out and make sure that everybody's getting the service that they are paying for.

[42:46] And then there was a fire that was reported at the landfill, but it wasn't at the county landfill.

[42:52] it was the line filled next door, which is usually where it is, but they just wanted to

[42:59] to remind residents that a lot of these fires are being caused by the improper disposal of

[43:08] the lithium batteries, rechargeable batteries. There are people who are still throwing them in

[43:13] their garbage can and when they get compacted they will just combust. They don't know,

[43:22] because it wasn't at our, it wasn't at the county landfill, so, but they have experienced that with, at the county, with, with fires and batteries being the cause.

[43:34] So, just a reminder to, to recycle those properly, the landfill has a special designated place to dispose of those.

[43:45] You can recycle them at home depot, those other places that will take those.

[43:50] So, and that's all I have wanted to, Sam, will you just kind of come up and introduce

[44:00] yourself for a quick, I meant to do this a little bit earlier, but would like to welcome

[44:06] Sam and go ahead and let us tell us who you are.

[44:10] Thank you.

[44:11] My name is Sam Harvey.

[44:13] I just started working down here for Congresswoman Maloy alongside James Levitt.

[44:16] So he's still around, he's our district director.

[44:18] I'm taking over King County and most of Washington County right now.

[44:22] So excited to be here.

[44:24] I was in Washington DC until early June working on their natural resources committee

[44:29] doing their energy and mineral resources stuff.

[44:32] And so excited to get back out to Utah.

[44:34] I graduated BYU last year and my folks are near Salt Lake.

[44:38] So it's good to be home back to the best part of the country and folks.

[44:42] So here to be a resource and here to be helpful.

[44:44] Let me know what I can do for you.

[44:47] Awesome. Thank you, Sam.

[44:50] Do we have a closed session or anything tonight?

[44:52] No.

[44:53] Okay.

[44:56] There's nothing else, Council.

[44:58] Look for motion to...

[45:00] Oh, dismiss. So moved.

[45:04] Second. Got a motion by Chris's. I got my mark. All in favor. Hi. We're adjourned. Thank you.

[45:16] We almost had the second that day.
